I have lived in Pannal for most of my life and have a great love for the village. Over the years I have written three books about Pannal: A History of Pannal, Postcards from Pannal and A Centenary History of Pannal Golf Club 1906-2006.

Pannal Jubilee Olympic torch
It has been a very hot and sunny day today. Now where did that come from as it has been rubbish for days. Been told it will not last so that is great. Cats never came in last night so they were enjoying a mild night. They are in now looking shattered after their night on the tiles. There seems to be more excitement over the Olympic torch coming to Harrogate than the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. Has been said that Harrogate Council has republican tendencies. Wonder if that is true. Surely not. Anyway the torch arrives here. Sorry to have to say I will not be going to see it I am playing golf - weather permitting. A young man Jonathan Sherwood age 19 has carved a beautiful Jubilee chair from an oak tree donated by friends of ours. It was his own idea and it is in the Valley Gardens for all to see.
